Contracted to local businesses for setup, operations and
administration of networks, involving both hardware and software solutions,
acting as a surrogate Information Systems personnel. Work encompassed both
client and server side details at every level.

Responsible for direction and decisions regarding Internet
developments in order to meet requirements imposed by the Federal
government.† Developed public Internet
site and extranet for use by field staff, agents and policyholders using Active
Server Pages, JavaScript, and Crystal Reports.†
I am heavily involved in the database design for new and existing
projects using Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and designing and coding conversion
programs and final products to utilize these databases.

Responsible for daily operations of networking and
application development departments involving oversight of people, projects and
planning decisions.† I was involved with several programming projects and was
responsible for the entire network infrastructure. I supervised one user support
person and three Visual Basic developers.

Migrated the network from a Novell Netware based network to a Microsoft WindowsNT based network for
file and print services, authentication, and other services to put Lorman in a better position for
the future.† In order to make these changes a new fileserver was purchased.† In ordering the system,
the current growth of Lorman was taken into account to make future expansion much easier.

The old fileserver is now used to host the Lorman website.† Bringing the Lorman website onsite will save
money and make management of the site and the data collected via the site hassle free. I also designed
and constructed an easier to use and more professional web site with increased functionality using
Active Server Pages.† This made it easy for customers to find and register for seminars online.

Installation of internet email server onsite gives Lorman the ability to add, change, and
delete email accounts at their discretion and provide more control over what it is used for.

Move from a firewall, which was no longer sufficient to serve Lormanís needs, to a Linux-based
solution.† This achieved better performance and increased security.

Purchased software that would assist in performing a software and hardware audit of computers on the
network.† This was used to discover which software is in use on computers so we could determine needs,
allowing the removal of unused software and licensing of necessary software.† It was also beneficial in
planning for upgrades and fixes for Y2K problem avoidance.† This inventory was also used for insurance purposes.

Implement backup policies, which had not been in place for several months.† In the event of an
unrecoverable crash on a server, everything would have been lost.

Virus scanning had been previously disabled on the fileserver.† After enabling it, over 3500 infected files
were found on the file-system within the first couple of hours and cleaned effectively.† Investigated, purchased
and implemented new enterprise-wide virus scanning software.† This enabled virus scanning on all servers
and workstations.† It also provided regular virus definition file updates for all systems from a centralized
management console.

Planning action on all Y2K issues at Lorman. This includes hardware testing and software
testing and upgrades.† After the turn of the year, no date related issues occurred.

Resolution of possible power related issues in the network operations room.† Installed new APC power line conditioners
and battery backup units.† This allows for a more managed source of power and better outage protection for the servers.

Marketed for and assembled a team of developers to create an enterprise-wide management application to handle
all business functions.†Supervised team to insure that the application met standards and needs determined by
discussions with management.

Purchased, assembled and configured new server for the new company management application.†
This is a high-powered network database server which will be used enterprise-wide.

Provided continuous updates to software written using Microsoft Access, Visual Basic, or
a combination of the two.† Created new applications as required for daily operation in several
departments.† The applications were written in a manner that the code could easily be
integrated into the new management application, reducing work for the team of developers.

Responsible for Novell Netware to Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 migration at several sites.

Procured, setup, and supported many servers, client personal computers, associated
hardware and software working closely with representatives of various computer
equipment suppliers.

Responsible for the creation and management of several corporate web sites and servers.
This involved database work, graphics and design, coding, and testing.† The creation of the pages involved use of
HTML, Active Server Pages, Perl, PHP, and JavaScript.

Developed several database applications for clients using Microsoft Access97 and
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, integrating other Microsoft Office products, such
as Word and Excel, as needed.

Installation and administration of Microsoft Exchange Server and Sendmail servers to handle
messaging needs for several clients.

All work involved researching, installing, configuring and testing of all
applications and operating systems prior to implementation.

Solely responsible for ISP portion of the business. Configured and maintained four
servers, dial-up services, and ISDN connections.† The servers were three Linux systems used for DNS, email, ftp and
web hosting, and one NT system used strictly for web hosting for people who
needed FrontPage Extensions or Active Server Pages.
